We were treated to an episode of Mother Nature Doing Her Thing at Salisbury Beach State Reservation recently. We watched an eagle pounce on its prey and then carry it across the water to enjoy in the company of a flock of geese. Though I can’t be certain, I believe the prey was a duck. I recently learned that eagles like duck for a good meal and perhaps this is an example. Anyhow, the eagle feasted for a while and the geese moved a short distance away. A harrier hawk did a quick fly by to see what was what. The eagle moved its prey again landing closer to the geese. We watched for several minutes in awe of nature. Oh, and there was a hawk sitting prettily in a tree also! What a day. For additional photos and story details, check out Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook. This post is for FOB Paula Ryan O’Brien’s birthday! Happy birthday to you.

This is the notification I got this morning:

As I reported a while back, we ventured to Amesbury in search of waterfalls. We found the waterfalls and had a nice little walk around. We decided to stop at the Barking Dog on Friend St in Amesbury for lunch. I thought of all our Gloucester dog lovers as the whole place is themed just for you. It’s a small friendly pub very close to the waterfalls. Comfy and welcoming, the customers that day included a range from families to senior citizens so it obviously pleases a wide demographic.

I had a BLT on a toasted pita (genius) and Jim got the loaded tater tots. It was EXACTLY what we were looking for on that cold day. The menu is simple but varied enough to please most. The pub style atmosphere was comfortable and warm. If you’re in Amesbury, give it a go!

Hey Joey, 

Reading a book right now that I’d recommend to GMG fans.  

It’s called “In Danger At Sea: Adventues of a New England Fishing Family”.  Publishd by Down East Books.

It’s the real deal, written by the sea captain himself: Captain Samuel Cottle.

He came from a long llne of fisherman, & felt it was a blessng to have been born into a family of fisherman & seafarers.

He fished the Atlantic out of Point Judith in RI, & his many adventures & insights are wonderful to read.

As I have mentioned, we take regular rides north to Parker River Wildlife Refuge and Salisbury State Reservation. We are seeking interesting animals, birds or scenery. This time all we were able to capture relatively close was this Northern Harrier hawk on the hunt. These hawks are nortoriously unpredictable and swift flyers. Sometimes they pause to watch the ground for prey as you see here. This time it decided not to swoop down and instead change direction and continue hunting away from its observers. They are quite striking though.
